Jack killed mom

He winked at Mom

Her pretty face was the first he saw

Was Jack wrong because he loved Mom?

Things were bad, before they got worse

Mom would pinch Jack until it hurt

Mama thought her boy was cursed

You leave (leave!)

You leave (leave!)

You leave that boy to me

Oh, Jack, I love him

But you leave that boy to me

You leave (leave!)

Leave (leave!)

I know his condition and soon he will be free

Off at school

Jack was cruel

He'd become the bullies bull

Was Jack wrong to mimic Mom?

And after school

On the corner stool

Mom was kissing on the Golden Rule

Jack had become the teacher's fool

You leave (leave!)

You leave (leave!)

You leave that man to me

Oh, Mom, I love you, and soon you will be free

With my will (will!) and my hands (hands!) like old Solomon

And in your honor I'm going to cut that man in half

Johnathan Rice:

All the lessons Mama would teach

Books from Rome and ancient Greece

Men push rocks up stony mountains

Turning one fish into five thousand

And a king went blind from his mother's love

A terrible rage came over Jack

His Mama lying on her back

The one who taught him right from wrong

But knew no better all along

She got ran through when Jack killed his Mom

(Bang bang!)

Don't leave (leave!)

Don't leave (leave!)

Don't leave this world to me

Oh, Mom I love, I didn't mean to set you free

With my will (will!) and my hands (hands!) like old Solomon

Oh Mom, I love you, I didn't mean to set you free

Was Jack wrong? (Jack killed Mom!)

Was Jack wrong? (Jack killed Mom!)

Was Jack wrong? (Jack killed Mom!)

Jack killed Mom!

Jack killed Mom!

Was Jack wrong? Jack killed Mom!

Jack killed Mom!

Oh

When Jack killed his Mom!
